A Pair To Draw With: First Two Matches Officially Set For WWE Backlash

They’re both in. We are less than a month away from Backlash, which will be a rare instance of WWE taking one of its premium live events outside the continental United States. The show will be held in Puerto Rico, which means that WWE will be wanting to present a special card. That can be easier said than done, but they have some of the bigger steps already set.

WWE confirmed the first two matches for Backlash this week on Monday Night Raw. First up, the Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and the Usos) will be facing Matt Riddle/Sami Zayn/Kevin Owens in a six man tag match. Second, Cody Rhodes will face Brock Lesnar as a result of Lesnar attacking Rhodes two weeks ago on Monday Night Raw. Backlash is set for May 7 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

This should be a big one. Check out how we got here:

Opinion: These are the matches that need to be added to the Backlash card to really start setting it up. They have a long way to go before the card is set, but these two matches will get them a long way. Once you add in a likely tag match featuring Bad Bunny/Rey Mysterio vs. Judgment Day, you have a very strong top of the card. Getting these matches set was a good start and now WWE needs to keep it going.
